(B) Pollination by water (hydrophily) is quite rare in flowering plants and is limited to about $30$ genera,mostly monocotyledons. $Vallisneria$ is a classic example of a submerged aquatic plant that exhibits hydrophily. In $Vallisneria$,the female flower reaches the surface of the water by a long stalk,and the male flowers or pollen grains are released on to the surface of the water,which are then carried passively by water currents to the female flowers. $Yucca$ is pollinated by a moth,$Amorphophallus$ provides floral rewards (safe places to lay eggs) for pollinators,and $Tobacco$ is pollinated by insects.
